I WISH YOU COULD SEE THIS IN PERSON! IT'S SO MUCH PRETTIER-THE TEXTURE OF THE PAPERS ARE AMAZING! Plus the jewels and the glitter on the circle/sun rays make it pretty cute!

I created this for Sketchy Thursday's challenge. I used Core-dinations, GCD Studios and Lily Bee Design from a Scrapbooking from the Inside Out kit I won earlier called Courage; American Crafts, CTMH rub-on; letters from KaiserCraft; Fiskars threading water border punch; jewels from TPC Studio.


I was also inspired by this pendant from Cathy Walter's Etsy Shop:

Well, after trying several pictures and several papers/embellishments etc., I finally found what I wanted to do for this great sketch by Liz Qualman for Sweet Peach Crop Shop's monthly challenge.  They would prefer that we use their kits, but I didn't have one.  The sketch was just too good to pass up!  AND, it was after I received Scrapbooking from the Inside Out's Courage kit that I found the exact papers I wanted to use!! No, my layout is not about courage, but I was able to find some great scrapbooking inspiration when I opened the kit (which is therapy to me)!!!

Here is the sketch:
